That elephant looks traumatised!

Get in! That's real fighting spirit. Well done lads. BBC repoter just called it "a soft penalty and very harsh red card".

That's the Brentford commentary turned off then.

Every week there's a freak injury! So innocuous some of these. Even Dack's was a year ago.

Commas really can change context.

Course ref, just a friendly chat needed there.

Amari Bell most of that half:

"Blackbum will be thinking all they got to do is turn up and the games theirs." They've clearly never spoken to a Rovers fan before. We generally don't expect to win when 2-0 up in the 80th min. "...and don't be mugs and fall for their dirty tactics.keep 11 on the pitch..." Wtf are these dirty tactics?! Do they mean our players being clean through on goal and getting hauled down? FFS. Pretty much every opposing team's fans that has had a red against us this season has called their own player a moron for what they did. Not our fault AA is uncatchable. ?‍♂️?‍♂️

I did as you asked. Not the result I was expecting from your statement. ?? That's the first 2 pages. I think by page 3 a few posters are questioning the fee and whether it could be spent better on the defence. But that's not a reflection on BB himself, can't see any personal derogatory comments towards him, just budgetary queries. I think you're maybe getting confused with the comments made about BB after he had severely underperformed in a Rovers shirt for over 18 months. But I'm guessing he would be big enough to admit that period simply wasn't good enough himself. Let's not rewrite history and pretend he was never welcomed to the club. A lot of people, including me, came to the conclusion there wasn't a player in there and he'd never come good. He's proved us very wrong the last 6 months, which is great news. Subsequently a lot of people, including me, have held our hands up and admitted we got it wrong. So not quite sure what point you're trying to make. Isn't that what you wanted? The masses to see the light? (Or more like Ben to shine the light). It's happened, you've got your wish. You should be happy no? Unless, of course, it's just "I told you so!" points you're after. ? In which case, just let me know how many, and I'll bag em up and send your direction asap.

Was even earlier I think Gav, from around Rd 5, that his corner seemed to be panicking. That is way more worrying than taking the knee to get out the fight. If his eye was badly damaged then fair enough, I don't blame him for taking the easy way out. He's young at 23 and potentially plenty more battles ahead. But it seemed from early on that he simply didn't like getting punched. Which is a slight issue for a boxer. I reckon the bloodied nose was troubling him too. Looks like he can dish it out, but can't take it back.

Good call. Not many gave JJ a chance.

Barnsley have scored exactly 2 goals against us the last 6 games running. In 14 matches against them since 1997 they've only failed to score once (0-0 draw in 2001). If we keep a clean sheet today I'll be stunned and pleasantly surprised. In reality, I think we need to score at least 2 goals, possibly 3 to win.

I'd hate to see what happens when you do start making judgements.

"That Dolan lad looks good, Goes to show what a great youth System Blackburn have" ????? Fair play to em, I do enjoy a bit of gallows humour.

93rd min and Big Ben is sprinting to close down the keeper. ?? I'll take a jug of custard with my humble pie thanks.

If Carlsberg did local derby matches.....

Desperately trying to buy a pen there.

I think the contract is even so many per month. So hardly any Championship games on red button this week, but a load on next week including us v Millwall on Wednesday.

I'd targeted 4pts from Luton and this match for me to keep holding out hope for the playoffs. So, we need a win to stop that hope evaporating. Wish I felt more confident, but I simply don't. Hope the teamsheet boosts that confidence.

Went in expecting to hear Mark Morrison. Left disappointed. Great to see him back on a football pitch tho.

I must have been living in a cave. That's International break for you. Was news to me. ☺ To be honest if Kaminski is going to be out for a while I'd seriously contemplate it as an option.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/belgium-vs-england-team-news-lineups-b1722390.html%3famp Just read TM has tested positive for Covid. Really bad news. We just can't catch a break this season. We've looked much more assured with him in nets. Will miss at least 2 games, maybe 3. Are all the other Championship clubs having the same nightmare with injuries/covid isolation? I genuinely have no idea. Just feels a bit like we have a really competitive squad this season, but it's all counting for nought, as we can't get the squad on the training pitch, never mind match day. Edit- quote from article: "Belgium goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski, a late call-up, has withdrawn from the hosts’ squad after testing positive for Covid-19."

I was thinking more he's now got Holtby and potentially Elliott to compete with that he didn't last time. Plus Brereton's rise from the ashes. Makes me think could he almost be a replacement for the Graham role. Or am I losing my marbles?! Impact from the bench when we need a goal. Put him up top in odd game when Armstrong is injured/suspended. I still see him as a No.10 personally, but is interesting to ponder where his position might fall in the team over the next 6 months or so.

Looks like the messageboard only seems to go back to 2018 as far as I can see. Maybe it's been archived to free up space on a server or something. Either way, right now, no one can prove anyone right or wrong. Out of interest Sparks what's your opinion on Dack now? Some pretty disparaging comments there from last year. Obviously, we don't know how he will bounce back from serious injury. But if he comes back to fitness exactly same as before, where do u place him in the current hierarchy? Best player? Definate name on teamsheet? Squad player?
